Are you in need of some office space yet can't find it in your home? Consider turning your garage into a home office of your own. Here's how you can make it happen.

Replace the Garage Door

You can make the garage look and feel more like a home office than a garage by simply replacing the garage door. If your current garage door does not already feature an inset walk through door and windows, it's time to consider investing in a new one that does. Not only will you allow natural light to flow into the space when all the doors are closed, but you'll enable clients and colleagues to enter your office without having to open the entire garage door or walk through the private rooms in your home.

Paint the Floors and Walls

After making sure you've incorporated natural light and an official walk through front door to your new home office, you can paint the concrete floor and the walls to add some warmth, comfort, and depth to the space. Start with a neutral base color for the floor and walls such as beige or gray, then incorporate a couple of accent colors that will help enhance your frame of mind and encourage productivity when you're spending time in your office. Consider painting the trim and adding accents using colors such as:

  • Yellow – Energize your space and encourage happiness and a positive frame of mind as you work.

  • Blue – Keep your blood pressure levels low while working on stressful projects in your home office.

  • Purple – Infuse a sense of sophistication into your home office to maintain a sense of accomplishment and to encourage yourself to strive for excellence.

Install a Heating System

Installing a heating system in your garage is one of the most important things you can do to ensure that your new office space is usable all year long. If you have to wear sweaters and jackets to stay comfortable in your office during the winter months, you'll be less likely to actually use the space when it comes time to work.

With a heating system in place, you can comfortably work in your home office without the need for extra layers of clothing no matter how cold it happens to be outside. Holding business meetings any time of year will be no problem, and working into the night when it's chilly outside will feel like working in the comfort of your own living room.
